Kilbourn Park - Playground · Chicago Playgrounds

Description

Kilbourn Park features a large and open playground and a new nature play area. The play ground has two structures - one for younger children and one for older children - with many of the standard features you would expect: slides, monkey bars, swings, and more. Next to the playground is a nature play area which has natural and open-ended play elements like stumps and branches. These descriptions might sound lame - a "standard playground" and a nature play area with stumps and rocks - but both areas are really great.

Both areas have a surface of wood chips and are bright and sunny. The playground is not fully enclosed but fenced from the street and set back a good distance. There are a few benches but low perimeter walls provide some informal seating around the playground. There is a drinking fountain and the nearby fieldhouse provides bathroom access (when it is open). Also, there is a nearby train track so kids can watch the occasional train pass by. All things considered, this is a great park to visit.
